Concerto Scirocco is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2005 by a group of young musicians who shared a passion for chamber music. The ensemble is based in Italy and is known for its innovative and dynamic performances that blend traditional classical music with contemporary styles. The founding members of Concerto Scirocco were violinist Marco Fiorini, cellist Andrea Agostinelli, and pianist Andrea Rebaudengo. All three musicians had studied at the Conservatory of Music in Turin and had already established themselves as talented performers in their own right. However, they were drawn together by a shared desire to explore new ways of interpreting classical music and to push the boundaries of traditional chamber music. From the outset, Concerto Scirocco was committed to performing a diverse range of music, from the Baroque era to the present day. The ensemble's repertoire includes works by composers such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms, as well as contemporary pieces by living composers. This eclectic approach has helped to set Concerto Scirocco apart from other classical music ensembles and has earned the group a loyal following among music lovers around the world. One of the highlights of Concerto Scirocco's early career was their performance at the prestigious Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy, in 2007. The festival is one of the most important cultural events in Italy and attracts some of the world's most renowned musicians and artists. Concerto Scirocco's performance was widely praised for its energy, creativity, and technical skill, and helped to establish the ensemble as one of the rising stars of the classical music world. Since then, Concerto Scirocco has gone on to perform at some of the most prestigious venues and festivals in Europe and beyond. The ensemble has appeared at the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Carnegie Hall in New York, among many others. They have also collaborated with some of the world's leading musicians, including the violinist Maxim Vengerov and the pianist Martha Argerich. In addition to their live performances, Concerto Scirocco has also released several critically acclaimed recordings. Their debut album, "Concerto Scirocco Live," was released in 2008 and features live recordings of some of the ensemble's most popular pieces. The album was praised for its energy and vitality, and helped to establish Concerto Scirocco as one of the most exciting and innovative classical music ensembles of their generation. Over the years, Concerto Scirocco has won numerous awards and accolades for their performances and recordings. In 2010, they were awarded the prestigious Echo Klassik award for their album "Bach: The Art of Fugue," which was praised for its technical precision and emotional depth. They have also been nominated for several Grammy Awards, including Best Chamber Music Performance and Best Classical Instrumental Solo. Despite their success, Concerto Scirocco remains committed to their original vision of exploring new ways of interpreting classical music.
